Portland's liberal image tempered by history as 'Skinhead City'
Portland, Oregon (CNN)
In this stereotyped mecca of liberal idealism lies a deep-seated subculture that just recently shocked the country: the white supremacist movement in Portland.
Not long ago, that phrase might have seemed oxymoronic. But a recent triple stabbing has cast a spotlight on the city's tensions between the alt-right and the alt-left.
"Portland has a long history of a battle between the right and the left," said Randy Blazak, a professor of criminology at the University of Oregon.
It's a long-simmering conflict that heated up after President Donald Trump's election. And experts say Portland -- like other liberal hotbeds -- could see more conflict in the months to come.
The most recent feud played out both inside and outside a hearing for slaying suspect Jeremy Joseph Christian.
Christian is accused of fatally stabbing two men who tried to protect two African-American girls, including one wearing a hijab, on a Portland light-rail train.
"Go home, we need American here!" Christian shouted at the girls, according to a probable cause affidavit. "I don't care if you are ISIS."

They are aiming straight for the bleeding heart of liberalism apparently. I have nothing against Portland and would love to go there. But it seems like these assholes are targeting very liberal cities guaranteed to spark conflict. Or it is just concentrated in cities because of population density and diversity.
I get way more openly hostile racism in DC than when I lived in Appalachia or the Midwest. In Appalachia I was licked by a blonde girl who wanted to see if I was made of chocolate (I am, and we were in preschool in the 80s). But in DC I have people who think my grandparents deviously came to America so that 2 generations later I would steal jobs away from real Americans the same way Obama's mama put fake newspaper announcements of his birth so he could steal the presidency 40 years later. I'd rather be licked FYI. 
Jobs can make some people turn into deplorable racist idiotic monsters who spew lies and resentment. Or it works like drugs and alcohol to just bring out the devil inside them.
